GINTO Izakaya Japonaise

Tokyo-based Ramal Inc. operates more than 150 restaurants worldwide, so it almost seems crazy that the Japanese company took so long to arrive in SF. Their FiDi outpost is huge -- 200 seats occupy the dining room and there’s a large, square bar that overlooks the street. The food is classic izakaya fare, but there’s also sushi, yakitori, and importantly: two dozen beers on draft and a full liquor license (hello, Japanese whisky). It's also got three 65” TVs, so you can watch the game while you feast.
